Although he had won two temporary allies, Amitabha Buddha had also suffered some losses in order to help the Mahesvara Heavenly Demon escape.
The Mahesvara Heavenly Demon almost died, and he would not be able to help Amitabha for a long time to come.
The only new ally that Amitabha could make use of at the moment was the addition of the Primordial Demon.
After all, the Primordial Demon represented the Devil Dao first before talking about joining forces with the Amitabha Buddha.
As Yan Zhaoge had expected, if the situation changed and the situation allowed it, the Devils might become a threat to the Amitabha Buddha at any time.
Buddha Amitabha was naturally aware of this. When dealing with the two Skyfiends, he had to be on his guard while borrowing their help.
This naturally couldn't compare to the addition of a new Buddha Ancestor to the Western Pure Lands.
Today, the monkey was the one who succeeded in the Nine Underworlds Puzzle. The demon race could accept this outcome, and so could the Daoism. However, the Western Pure Lands wouldn't be able to gain any benefits from this.
In the conflict between Amitabha and the Eastern Monarch Taiyi, the monkey would undoubtedly help the latter.
Moreover, compared to the two Skyfiends and the Amitabha Buddha, the monkey's help to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was undoubtedly more reliable.
The ancient Dipankara Buddha had painstakingly planned for many years to compete for the Nine Underworlds. Now that he had failed and missed this opportunity, it was very likely that he would have no hope of entering the Dao Realm for the rest of his life.
After losing all the Sea Calming Pearls, even his personal strength would inevitably decline.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge swept through the Western Paradise's group of Buddhas. The Unbreakable Vajra Buddha, the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and the other Buddhism bigwigs were either killed or injured. The Western Pure Lands suffered a huge loss from the Nine Underworlds Layout, and their vitality suffered a huge blow.
In comparison, the situation of their old rivals, the Demon Race, was slightly better.
Although the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles was severely injured and Daolord Lu Ya had missed out on the Nine Underworlds Puzzle today, his future uncertain, the monkey's ascension to the Dao Realm was great news to the demon race.
From a certain perspective, it could be said that Dao Lord Lu Ya had lost the fight for the Dao Realm Opportunity. However, the Astro Mountains Star Ocean of the Demon Race had won.
The biggest difference between the monkey and Primordial Heavenly Devil was that Primordial Heavenly Devil was Buddha Amitabha's personal ally. After Buddha Amitabha transcended, the orthodox Buddhism couldn't count on the two great Heavenly Devils, nor could they count on Formless Heavenly Devil.
On the other hand, even if the Eastern Monarch Taiyi Transcended, the monkey would still protect the demons of the Mountains and Seas.
The demons still had a backbone.
At the same time, Buddha Amitabha and the Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable had failed to kill the Future Buddha, Maitreya.
For Donghuang Taiyi and the demon race, today could be said to be a complete victory. All of their goals had been achieved.
The only problem was that they needed to share this victory with others.
Although he had won, strictly speaking, he had only won half the battle.
The monkey could be considered as the new Dao Ancestor of the demon race, but he could also be considered as the new Dao Ancestor of the orthodox Daoism.
After the Grand Supreme Elder made a move today, it was still hard to say what would happen in the future.
However, most of the time, the monkey would support the Dao Sect.
Coupled with the existence of the Immortal Extermination Formation, the orthodox Daoism was now even more powerful.
As Yan Zhaoge ascended to the Dao Realm, Suo Mingzhang and Feng Yunsheng's strength continued to improve. The overall strength of orthodox Daoism's Grand Heavenly Realm experts displayed a terrifying might.
Even if Mahamayuri also participated in the war, the Dao Sect's Grand Heavenly Immortal still had the strength to fight against all the heroes of the world by himself.
As long as the Dao Realm powerhouses did not appear, the orthodox Daoism was the leader of the world, and it was comparable to its peak in the past.
For the orthodox Daoism, they had also achieved their goals.
Although the monkey wouldn't stand firmly on Daoism's side if they were to clash with the demon race, the outcome was already good enough.
After all, if the monkey wasn't the candidate, the Future Buddha might not have stopped the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord from risking his life.
Of course, this time, the two heretic patriarchs had actually struck it rich without making a sound. They had profited greatly.
Even if the Future Buddha, Maitreya, suffered some losses after being besieged by the Amitabha Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, he still received a bountiful harvest after purifying many Infernal Devils.
Only, these harvests were still superficial.
Especially now that the orthodox Daoism was becoming stronger, it posed a huge threat to the two heretics.
In particular, the Immortal Court was having trouble sleeping and eating.
With the monkey's support, the Immortal Extermination Formation, and the Grand Heavenly Realm Heavenly Immortals suppressing the other Daoism Heavenly Immortals, the Three Clear Lineage was slowly gaining the ability to launch a counterattack against the Immortal Court!
"Let's start preparing." Nezha looked at everyone. Flames seemed to be leaping within his eyes.
"Now that the Elder Lord has just made his move, his aura has yet to dissipate. His attitude would definitely attract the suspicion of others. The other factions would be more wary of the Elder Lord than before." Perfected Taiyi let out a long sigh, "The timing is perfect. However, we mustn't underestimate our enemies."
He glanced at Daolord Immortal Lu Ya and the other great demons who had retreated. "Maitreya Buddha is fine. If this continues, His Majesty Donghuang will definitely transcend before Amitabha when this era ends."
"Under the current circumstances, the Demon Race's attitude would be more ambiguous."
The current orthodox Daoism was too domineering.
The group of Demons was also under considerable pressure.
Not to mention what would happen after the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi transcended, even if the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi didn't transcend and Daoism and the Demon Race clashed, the monkey's attitude would be hard to predict.
Without the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi's deterrence, the Astro Mountains Starry Sea wouldn't be able to resist against the domineering Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Even if the Future Buddha wanted to help, he had to be wary of the Immortal Extermination Formation.
The Elder Lord's aura had yet to dissipate, which made others even more wary.
However, it was still unknown whether he would continue to make his move.
The Elder Lord wasn't a chess player, and every step he took was linked.
At the end of the day, he only liked to throw stones on someone else's chessboard.
If the Elder Lord didn't make his move, the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi wouldn't do anything.
Even if the Amitabha Buddha and the Primordial Heavenly Devil weren't in a stable state, they might join forces with the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
By then, even if Daoism had the monkey and the Immortal Extermination Formation, the outcome wouldn't be optimistic.
Since this matter involved the Immortal Court and was related to the Future Buddha, he might participate in it.
However, how he would participate, when he would participate, and how much he would participate were unknown.
As such, there were many things that needed to be considered and communicated with the other factions.
"It's necessary to prepare for a rainy day and make a proper plan." Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, "However, the time for us orthodox Daoism to set things right and cleanse the universe is about to arrive."
Everyone looked at each other, beaming with joy.
Ever since the Great Calamity, Daoism had fallen into the abyss. Daoism's descendants struggled bitterly and suffered heavy casualties.
After that, in order to fight for the Immortal Extermination Formation, all of Daoism's descendants who were still alive came out and gave it their all. Finally, the Immortal Extermination Formation returned to the Three Clear Lineage, and Daoism's resurgence was finally seen.
Today, after the Nine Underworlds' situation, Daoism's fortunes had finally turned!
